Thank God for Joseph Kosma who wrote the music., 19 June 1999

Äfter "Les enfants du Paradis"there was for the tandem Prévert/Carné only one way to go : down, and they did in that boring melodrama. This movie is only worth remembering for the musical score by Joseph Kosma, known in English as "Autumn leaves"
